when you die, and Anubis rips your heart from your chest and begins walking towards the Scales with your heart in his one hand, the Feather of Ma'at in the other hand, you won't know how to recite the 42 Denials, and your heart will be devoured by Ammit, the devourer of hearts and you will be destroyed?
And if not... why do the Pascal Wagerers of you think I'd be any more scared of your particular Hell either?

Oh no, I'm wrong?!
So are you.
See? The door swings both ways.

Ammits teeth are made of singularity matter. Not even pure strange matter could survive his teeth.

Quoting an incorrect book doesn't make you somehow correct.
Anubis is going to have fun dangling your heart from a fishing rod and teasing Ammit with it.

*LOL* Thank you for that great laugh. I've not seen so many urban legends mixed up in one place.
"But when we made adjustments our worst suspicions were confirmed. The screams weren’t those of a single human, they were the screams of millions of humans!"
That was such a hoax it wasn't funny.
Thanks for a good laugh.

Ouch,
well I guess I will see you in Hades.
That is of course you forget to bring two coins along to pay for the fare and you have two wander the banks of Acheron
for 100 years.

Bl3ss3dw1thL1f3, (s)he's not fully wrong - this was the belief of the Ancient Egyptians: the heart was considered the centre of emotions (it was a big part of the soul, so think of it as your soul if you like) and it was weighed by Anubis (the god of the underworld) and, if it was heavier than the Feather of Maat, Ammit (a demon) consumed it, so that the soul was destroyed and would never be allowed to enter. No afterlife, no being with your god for eternity, nothing ever again...
I think their point was that, if all of the atheists should be so scared of not believing in a god of these days because the idea of being sent into hell might actually happen, then anyone who doesn't believe this story should also be terrified of this idea incase it is also true.

Awesome question...absolutely awesome!
(NOTE: Pascal's Wager is the silliest thing I've ever heard of any way...mathematical equations are based on measurable or quantifiable item etc...so no accurate equation can be based on an unseen and unproven location/object such as heaven or hell. Its like trying to say that 2 x (7 - 4) + love = 2749)

Its not the hell that scares the Muslim, its the loneliness of being without Him.
He (word used in english because english doesnt have neuter pronouns) is the source of all.
He is where I came from and where I will go.
He is the beginning and He is the end.
If I am to live a life without Him, my existence would hold no meaning, as everything is a reflection of Him.
I wouldnt assume youd be afraid of Hell...because Im not.
Im afraid of losing Him.

I wish I could read the whole story this quotation comes from...I would say this is not my heart which would matter after I die!!! This is my soul!!! It is never going to be devoured by anybody , I will not be destroyed. Ha!!

Ask any Religious(big 3) people, they think they invented Pascal's Wager and the other guy stole it.

our hell is scarier than your hell. In our hell you will burn forever without being destroyed. You will remember this little post of yours a million times an hour and wish and hope and wish and hope you could take it back. But you cant. You will freeze and burn at the same time. (Dont ask me how this is possible, but it is.) Worms will crawl over and thru your body. You will hear weeeping and wailing every minute, every day. You will be able to see heaven and all the happy fulfilled people there and this will torment you. You will regret over and over and over that you followed some weird spaced out acid trip of a religion.

The last time something similar to this was asked, someone commented that they'd be angry that Anubis didn't try harder to reach people. I agreed with him then, and his answer still stands.

No, I am not terrified at all. I am safe in Jesus and don't have to fear anything in the future.
Jesus said, "I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; NO ONE CAN SNATCH THEM OUT OF MY HAND. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand." John 10:28-29
